One of the favorite rhymes of the period was the following tongue twister. Although it may sound silly, let willing students try it.
“Betty Botter bought some butter, but, she said, the butter’s bitter; if I put it in my batter it will make my batter bitter, but a bit of better butter will make my batter better. So she bought a bit of butter better than her bitter butter, and she put it in her batter and the batter was not bitter. So ‘twas better Betty
Botter bought a bit of better butter.”
